Positive Reinforcement in Addiction

Positive reinforcement, defined as the introduction of a desirable stimulus, can often be seen in the early stages of drug addiction and drug-seeking habit formation as the theory states users take the drug because they enjoy the drug and its effects. Positive reinforcement may also play a factor in quickly reintroducing drug habits after periods of abstinence.
